Description
On July 8, 1959, claimant was employed by appellee, Breese Industries, Inc., as a punch-press operator. On said date, claimant was operating the press when he put a plate into the machine to make a product. The machine press came down on claimants left hand. Claimant had not pressed the handles of the machine or the press levers. As the result of the accident, claimant had his first finger amputated between the second joint and the proximal joint, and his second, third and fourth fingers were amputated slightly above the proximal joint. In addition, claimant suffered a cut in the palm of the same hand about two inches in length, which went between the fourth and fifth metacarpals. From the date of the injury, July 8, 1959, to September 17, 1959, the duration of the healing period, temporary total disability in the amount of $36 per week for 10 weeks was paid to claimant by appellees. Claimant also received from appellees, for schedule injury, 75 weeks of compensation at $36 per week, representing 22 weeks for the loss of the first finger at the proximal joint, 22 weeks for the loss of the second finger at the metacarpal bone, 17 weeks for the loss of the third finger at the metacarpal bone, and 14 weeks for the loss of the fourth finger at the metacarpal bone, as provided in 59-10-18A, N.M.S.A., 1953 Comp.
